% Microstrip Radial Stub
%
% CSX: CSX-object created by InitCSX()
% materialname: property for the MSL (created by AddMetal() or AddMaterial())
% prio: priority
% MSL_width: width of the MSL to connect the stub to
% len: length of the radial stub
% alpha: angle subtended by the radial stub (degrees) 
% resolution: discrete angle spacing (degrees)
% orientation: angle of main direction of the radial stub (degrees)
% normVector: normal vector of the stub
% position: position of the end of the MSL
%
% This radial stub definition is equivalent to the one Agilent ADS uses.
%
% example:
% CSX = AddMRStub( CSX, 'PEC', 10, 1000, 5900, 30, 1, -90, [0 0 1], [0 -10000 254] );
